We were running late to a reservation due to holiday traffic and they called to make sure that we were on the way because they were still holding our table, which was so nice. I Believe our waiters name was Eli. He offered great recommendations when ordering caviar & even gave us a little treat. I now know why they have a Michelin star.

We had an 8pm business dinner at Paris Bar on a rainy Wednesday evening and the restaurant was relatively empty, so a very nice table was immediately available. The French bistro look and feel is great. The steak frites was very good - the steak excellent but the fries not as fresh and crispy as they should be. The braised lamb was okay, but overcooked with skimpy vegetables. The service was irregular - a long wait for our drinks order, but very prompt with our food orders. The wait person was quite knowledgeable and helpful with wines. As others have commented, Paris Bar is new and going through its shakedown period. It's a sister restaurant of Trattoria dell 'Arte, so I'm sure any bugs will be worked out soon. It's a good choice for French bistro food near Carnegie Hall.

Far EXCEEDED expectations - cozy restaurant with an excellent menu - french bistro style. One of the few places in New York where you can get a made-to-order souffle. I went for a birthday lunch with friends, and all enjoyed it. While the restaurant was filled, it was not overly noisy - we could actually talk - will revisit.
